Sharp threshold for the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem
Abstract
For positive integers and with , the Kneser graph is the graph with vertex set consisting of all -sets of , where two -sets are adjacent exactly when they are disjoint. The independent sets of are -uniform intersecting families, and hence the maximum size independent sets are given by the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado Theorem. Let be a random spanning subgraph of where each edge is included independently with probability . Bollob\'as, Narayanan, and Raigorodskii asked for what does have the same independence number as with high probability. For , we prove a hitting time result, which gives a sharp threshold for this problem at . Additionally, completing work of Das and Tran and work of Devlin and Kahn, we determine a sharp threshold function for all .
